engine stand

[Ben Swann]

Now that's a novel idea!  Not everyone has a spare trans, but I do have at
least one.

Before I do though - anyone need a perfectly good '84 CGT 5speed FWD trans.

what i did for inline vw 4's was to take apart a trans.   bolt the
"bell housing" to the "engine stand" then bolt the engine to that.  i
did that primarily to be able to hook up a starter and crank used engines
to check for oil pressure.  really you could just get a piece of 1/4 plate
and a section of pipe to make a custom adapter that bolts to the trans
piece and slips in to the porsche stand, or a universal stand for that
matter.  please post a pic of whatever you end up with :).
